The sample consisted of 21 quantitative researches which focused on adolescences’drugs abuse preventive behaviors. The criterions of selection were a) Fundamental statistics have to be sufficient to calculate the correlation coefficient or the effect size, b) Publication should be during 1997 – 2017, and c) Papers should be searched and downloaded full text from database. The means of research quality scores were 3.25. Based on the meta-analysis, the findings showed that psycho-social factors correlating with adolescences’ drugs abuse preventive behaviors can be divided into 3 groups which are, ordered by the correlation coefficients as follows: psychological-trait ( r=0 . 4 7 2 ) , situational factors ( r=0 . 4 2 9 ) , and psychological-state factors ( r= 0 . 3 9 8 ) , respectively. The prime factors with highest correlation coefficients in each group were future orientation ( r= 0.553), social support from arrounded people (r= 0.616), and subjective norms (r= 0.551), respectively.

The results of this study have three findings related to the objectives. First, there were three outlines: 1) likers and sharers: people who like and share public posts online; 2) content makers: people who create new content about stray dogs and cats on a related webpage on Facebook; 3) activity-creators: people who create new activities for everyone to join and help animals.
